Very sorry for your loss PT, my prayers and thoughts go out to your entire
family.

I am so sad to hear this; my
heart is with the Hastings family. P.T always greeted me with a smile
and always spoke to me ( he thought I was Tim McGraw at one time ) he
was an awesome person and will truly be missed very much by me and I'm
sure everyone who ever visited his store had the same feeling (love ya,
my friend; rest in peace)

So sorry to hear of
P.T.'s passing. He was a wonderful man and will long be remembered.
My thoughts and prayers with each of you at this sad time.

Kathlyn & Family,
I am so sorry for the pain your heart feels right now. I
hope you will allow yourself to recognize the signs that
your father sends down to you to remind you that he is with
you and loves you very much. I enjoyed getting to know
Kathlyn on New Years Eve and I hope you will feel
comfortable to reach out to me any time. I hope to hang out
with you again soon, when you feel up to it & need to get
out a bit. Love to all of you. -Amy Jones
